Scoring pattern at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai:

Batsmen have a good chance to score early if they get off to a solid start, but the slow pitch demands caution when attempting big shots. Fast bowlers can extract bounce and seam movement in the early overs, especially with the new ball. In night matches, the effects of light and dew become crucial in the second innings, as increased humidity makes it difficult for bowlers—particularly spinners—to maintain their grip.

IND vs PAK Final Match Prediction:

India has won all its matches in this tournament and has defeated Pakistan twice before. Abhishek Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav are in excellent form for India, and Pakistan has no way to handle them. India is expected to win this match.
